Dylan Thomas movie

Why isn’t The Edge of Love – the new movie about Dylan Thomas – being released in North America? Are these people crazy? Didn’t they realize Thomas was massive in the States thanks to his sold-out speaking tours in the early 1950s? There’s still a huge following for Thomas and I’m sure the film would do well here.

The UK is liking the movie complete with superstars Keira Knightley and Sienna Miller. We’ve put together a feature on Dylan Thomas to wet your whistle for the movie or torture you if you’re American or Canadian.

I also recommend this VW ‘night driving’ ad from Youtube where we can listen to Richard Burton reading Under Milk Wood. Great ad.
